Review on ⛄️ Hillsound Trail Crampon Pro - Ice Traction Device/Crampons with 10 Carbon Steel Spikes and a 2-Year Warranty by Shane Minter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly what I was looking for

When I bought them I never had crampons as I never hiked in winter. I went to the local camping store and this guy tried to convince me to spend almost $200 on cats. You have now made 4 high spikes in ADK. There are no snowballs and no traction issues on higher sections of ice. My teammate had micro lugs and had some issues with the ball but also struggled at higher elevations with steeper ice. Its advantage was at lower elevations where the rocks and trail were slippery due to light snowpack. I had to go with slippery books because they felt uncomfortable outside of ice or packed snow areas. Maybe I'll take some microspikes with me if I do it again.

Pros
  • Hands free work
Cons
  • Some difficulties
